Just came across this video on one of the video sharing websites. The statistics presented in this video reflect the amazing speed at which Linux is developed and huge scale at which it is being used or deployed across the devices in real world. It's an...

This week I'll be talking about RAD and the runtime analysis feature, the debug tool and reverse transformations. Within RAD, the runtime analysis feature allows you to view the actual execution of the code, which may be different from the intended behavior. ...

As a software development team, what is your challenge? My experience is that development teams need to have a structured approach to application development. A software development team has to develop applications for multiple projects, often running on...

This is a repost of the blog that I posted on "Social and Mobility" group last night. Penning my thoughts specially for the IBM Tech Forum 2012 participants. Worklight

Penning my thoughts specially for the IBM Tech Forum 2012 participants. Worklight v5.0 .. there has been quite a buzz in developer community since it's release last month. So, what is it? Just another tool - nah! It's actually a platform that covers the...

There’s a lot of talk these days about DevOps, designing processes for coordinating software development teams with IT operations teams. The talk is being driven by companies challenged by a fast-moving market, an ever changing regulatory landscape, and...

Many software engineering activities rely on the automated support afforded by tools. In order to maximize their benefits, they are often retrofitted to development environments that enable them to capitalize on facilities provided by compilers, debuggers, and...

Bringing the power of social software to software development teams provides many new collaboration opportunities that allow you to identify, connect and exchange ideas with a wide community of business and technical stakeholders, partners and end users. IBM...

WebSphere Adapters suite consists of a set of Adapters which help provide connectivity to various Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). There is out-of-the-box connectivity provided to popularly used Enterprise systems like SAP, Siebel, PeopleSoft, JDE etc....

In a previous blog Tom introduces the new features of Worklight
version 5.0 and mentioned one of the completely new tool that comes with this new
release : the Application Center. So what is this new tool for and how can it helps with your
mobile...

We from the IBM Mobile Foundation team are super excited with the release of our IBM Worklight product suite. There are several exciting new features that I am excited about. There is everything a developer needs to build solid, user-friendly, cool, secure...

Today's post comes from Sydney Shealy, Market Segment Manager, Application Security. When IT security first rose to prominence (when they gave someone a budget and the title of security manager), many organizations focused on infrastructure security. Over...

I'd like my work environment to go, please. Stick a thermometer into tech development clusters in 2012 and you'll quickly find that nothing's hotter than mobile. There's good reason for that -- people love the portability and simplicity of the smart-device...

I think that it is a clear understatement to say that "Mobile was hot!" at the Innovate 2012 conference last week. Beginning with the conference opening keynote from IBM Senior Vice President Robert LeBlanc, and continuing right through to the very...

Software development needs to be smart. Development tool integration is key to smart software development. Let's talk about Rational® Requirements Composer, which is a suite of requirements definition and business prototyping tools. Its graphical editors...

The problem with the phrase �business agility,� if you ask me, is that it has now officially been used too many times, in too many different ways, to mean anything very definite. I therefore propose getting rid of this particular adjective/noun combo and...

Here's a straightforward proposition: Software is more and more critical to the success of business strategies. So it's getting more and more critical to develop that software properly in the first place. Sounds simple enough, right? Just hire good engineers...

It always surprises me to see tremendous potential go almost completely unrealized and undeveloped. A specific example: Recently I saw a YouTube video featuring a guitar worth somewhere north of a quarter million bucks. Yet the dealer who was trying to sell...

27,000 users of a Rational solution. Convergence on process definition. Two statements that don't seem to fit, but for IBM Systems and Technology Group (STG) they have become an absolute driving force in producing an infrastructure that can deliver state of...

I find myself spending a lot of time lately talking about Enterprise Modernization and helping customers establish a vision and roadmap for deployment of modernization solutions that actually provide value above and beyond their desire to simply “modernize”....

Nearly all teams face challenges in getting their clients and other stakeholders involved enough in the requirements stage, of the development process. Especially when defining the outcomes and the details of what it will take to realize those outcomes....

Mobile Apps: Customer reach and differentiation Mobile application development is expected to exceed other platforms by 2015 [1], and today, there are now more than 6.8 million developers worldwide developing wireless applications [2]. Financial Services...

Modeling lets you manage complexity and risk. Not all projects require models in order to be successful. The more complex a project is, the more you need models. Software is no different than every other kind of engineering in this respect. You probably don’t...

PureSystems: What does it mean for IT software development? Innovation and competitive strength go hand in hand. This means companies who can bring their products and services to market faster, cheaper, and with lower risk are almost always going to be the...

Today I feel a little jazzy and want to talk a bit about Jazz. So you might ask..."What is Jazz"? Over the years, developing software has been compared to many familiar activities - an art, a science, even a manufacturing process. What all of these...

Testing is a huge challenge for mobile application
development. Testing for mobile applications represents a quantum leap in
complexity and cost over more traditional applications. Unlike traditional PC
and Web applications, the range of potentially...

<oops>this was really posted before the "passthru" posting, but had problems to be viewed in Chrome browser. This posting still traps Chrome browsers (not Safari) in an endless loop -- will try to fix that tomorrow. In trying to fix the Chrome...

Part of what makes software development a perfect career choice for me is that it never stales. At least during my lifetime so far, technology hasn’t sat still for more than a few years at a time. The next layer of capability, the next opportunity, the next...

SXSW has transformed. Interactive has ended and everything has moved into purely Music and Film. Walking 6th street at night, which was somewhat crowded on previous nights, turned into a sea of humanity, all with their own tastes and agendas. As I was...

This is a panel. As the rise of iOS, Android, and the Mac App Store brings more web developers into the world of native applications can our existing processes and best practices survive the transition? How can we release early and often in an environment...

I am pleased to announce our 2012 IBM Champions for Rational software! The IBM Champion award is our way of recognizing the exceptional contribution of selected clients, Business Partners and academics. These experts have demonstrated their willingness to go...

Enterprise DevOps: What's the buzz all about? I'm at PULSE, spending lots of time talking with customers, analysts, and colleagues about DevOps. I've been learning about what people are saying and doing to make their IT operations more efficient, what...

I'm headed to this session on Tuesday at the convention center ballroom. Here is a quick description: "As the rise of iOS, Android, and the Mac App Store brings more web developers into the world of native applications can our existing processes and best...

One thing that often confuses people is the difference between Content Engine class and property descriptions and CE class and property definitions. There is also some confusion about security for classes. This brief note should clear up the basics for you....
